Training Trip

Daedalus had been surprised when all of his teachers ganged up on the hand to hand combat teacher. However as their job was to help him become more proficient in the weapons it made sense.

Once the dust had settled all of the teachers had returned to the center of the courtyard and Dual the dual wielding teacher spoke "Today we will be taking you to a special mountain. The mountain is the largest on the continent and has many caves and cave systems as well as forests and plains all over it. The biggest factor however, are the beasts. It is common to find beasts as tall as ten metres and more, they are all around your strength at the least."

After taking a second to breath Dual continued "We will be watching while your there so that you don't die but we won't help you otherwise."

Daedalus having head all of this was getting excited and said "I will forge a few new weapons before I leave then."

As Daedalus turned to do as he said Dual said "No you will be given basic tools and weapons, a highly important part of learning to wield a weapon is to make it, however doing so in a dangerous situation works even better. Also if we feel that you need guidance in a weapon we will give you some pointers. Finally, your other teachers will be meeting us there."

After speaking with his teachers for a while longer about the trip to the mountain Daedalus finally knew the mountains name, it was known as The Ancient Heights. Daedalus felt the name was a bit mediocre but to be fair it was a rather large mountain, that would mean tons of country's trying to name it.

It was located in the human races territory and was bordered by the ocean. Daedalus after learning this decided that he would find a cliff on the ocean side to stay while he was there.

After that it was simply a matter of getting to the mountain. Seeing as the dwarven empire was much closer than the elven empire, Daedalus decided to simply go there first. Using this method it only took a week to make their way to the mountain, sadly this didn't include getting to where Daedalus wanted to stay while he was there.

Along the way Daedalus had also been told that they would be staying on the mountain until the just before the tournament began in a year and a halves time. Daedalus didn't mind this too much and made sure to bring a spatial pouch with him filled with numerous materials.

As they had arrived at the mountain Daedalus' teachers said good luck and disappeared from sight. It was almost immediately after that that a twenty metre tall boar came charging out of the forest at Daedalus, seemingly intent on turning him into a fine paste.

Daedalus as he was had no intentions of becoming said fine paste, and dodged to the side, as he did Daedalus brought a long sword out of his bag and stood in a battle stance.
